Wow thanks for the feedback - as demanded here are some more shots - pieces like this one really slow me down but man oh man when I'm finished its so worth the wait. I will definitely be doing more work like this next year.

So fine, man ,so fine..Thanks for the extra pics this morning too; The only way I ever get to see a masterpiece like this is by gazing at the photographs offered up. I bow in the presence of greatness!

Nice carve! Looks like Chucky's wooden Maori cousin. So expressive and life like. If I had this carving I would keep it under a museum plexiglass box thing all padlocked down. Not for fear of it being stolen so much as the fear of him coming to life while I sleep. Killer carving as usual.
